            Time and Tide have an office that is just around the corner from where I live, and last night they had an event to celebrate the launch of the Longines Legend Diver. So I went along.

            The case is PVD steel and it comes on a rubber strap. Time and Tide (who're selling it) had it on one of their black NATOs, which was a good pairing. I think that the movement is a tweaked ETA.

            It's a good looking watch. For people who read Hodinkee (and @Anesthetist ), there's a 36 mm version, but it's not available in black.

            A few people had nice watches with them. Someone had an early 2000s Rolex GMT on a Jubilee bracelet.

            A Glashutte with a spectacular green dial.

            And one guy had a watch roll full of vintage pieces he'd sourced in Cuba.

            Including this lovely Jaeger chronograph.

                I find it ironic that Glashutte would make an homage to a Timex

                    Those are the Four Seasons special ed GS: https://timelessluxwatches.com/reviews/new-grand-seiko-four-seasons-models/

                    This is the lovely Winter model:

                    And the Summer one:

                    Those are my favorite of the 4, but the other two are not bad either…

                      Hodinkee have a write up on the Blancpain Barakuda.

                      https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/blancpain-fifty-fathoms-barakuda-introducing

                      There are comments about it being sold out, but I heard the same thing about the Bathyscaphe Seventies, and there's one of those in a local jeweler's.

                            …but even if you do, if you log the GPS coordinates and scour the area, being at least the equal of a Submariner, it should be fine even after 14 months undersea.

                            Think it, be it.

                              @Finn666 glad to hear you've made your mind up. Hopefully the Rolex waiting list gods are kind to you.

                              they truely were @Graeme 😎

                                @Finn666 looks like the waiting list wasn't too bad. I've got a suspicion that times quoted are exaggerated, except for the Daytona and GMT…

                                The Sea Dweller looks good. Doesn't seem too big for your wrist, and is a less obvious choice than the Submariner.

                                        also put my name on the list for a gmt master II batman with the jubilee bracelet from 2019 while at the store…should take around 1-1.5years for it to arrive.

                                          yeah the GMT master might take awhile.. i'm not convinced it will be 1-1.5 years.. unless of course after this purchase, they're more inclined to "move you up"
